You Don't Know SQUATS!!!

[40kGamer]

I have a Chaos Squats army - yes, even more obscure than your Squats, but the conversion potential is much much greater, and my devotion to Khorne has existed since if first cut my fingers upon my first Squats minis back in 1987.

Greetings fellow stuntie enthusiast! Thank you for all of your blogging efforts! I actually remember visiting your blog when I was looking for a full index of Squat appearances in white dwarf. It was truly a great help! I sure didn't fancy flipping through 100s of back issues of white dwarf to chase down the odd article!

My hat's off to you for building out an army around 10 official Chaos Squat minis. The conversion potential for the followers of the dark gods is truly unlimited and it's great to see how you took advantage of the available weirdness. I'm planning to fold the Chaos Exo-Armour suits in and may simply sneak the 5 variants sporting the chaos mutations into some of the units as well. Some of them, especially the beast leg, are so subtle I even overlooked them when I first counted out and organized my stash of the little devils. I have no idea how to work the 3 power armoured chaps in at the moment but hopefully inspiration will strike somewhere along the way.

First pass count I'm working from a stash of a couple hundred of the original stunties and ~80% of the once upon a time available variations. My inner completionist went into a nerd rage once I realized I was missing so many of the oddball & unreleased variants.

for the exo-armoured varients, how about counting them as the IG Stormtroopers (sorry new name is silly).

I also like the banner designs, your test colours look great, I would incorparate Nid pieces into the bases as a tounge in cheek nod as well.....

Good luck in trying to complete your set, 'Gotta Catch Em ALL!'

ohh, and seriously check out Mantic's Forge Fathers, they look great and the scale isn't too far out I feel for using with the classic stuff.

Finally back onto a lot of back burner projects... Found some modernized Squats in Exo-Armour done up by Mikko and decided to mock up a squad for my own slowly growing force.

Here are the first couple poses...

Planning an epic painting weekend for the squats in June where I get together with some of the local hobby crowd for 'army in a weekend'. Basically get together Friday at 6pm and paint until Sunday at 6pm with as little sleep/breaks as possible!

I don't know if you're on Pinterest but the the go to guy for Squats is a chap calling himself Marell_le_fou.
